Question

The Jacksons have a scaled down model of a football field on their property. The measurements of an actual sized field

are shown below.
50 yds
120 yds
The length of the field in the backyard is 30 yards. What is the width?
18.75 yards
6.25 yards
25 yards
12.5 yards

Answer 1

Scale model width = 12.5 yards

Explanation:

Given:

Actual length of field = 120 yards

Actual width of field = 50 yards

Scale model length = 30 yards

FInd:

Scale model width

Computation:

Scale model width = [Scale model length / Actual length of field] Actual width of field

Scale model width = [30/120]50

Scale model width = [1/4]50

Scale model width = 0.25 x 50

Scale model width = 12.5 yards
